About BCMF

The Bridge Chamber Music Festival in Northfield, MN brings world class musicians to a small town setting. With a variety of classical and jazz ensembles we endeavor to thrill audiences with the power and emotion of an intimate performance environment featuring top tier musicians. Our generous donors and a Legacy Fund grant from the State of Minnesota allow us to offer these performances at a small ticket price, making them accessible to all in our community and beyond.

Our Mission

BCMF presents inspiring chamber music concerts and events for young musicians and the community, blending local musicians, MN Orchestra members, and international ensembles in programs exploring traditional and under-represented cultures.
